Beer Can House

"Rehab is for Quitters!" the sign outside of Louis Torres' house in Fort Worth, Texas, where it's always beer thirty all day, any day.

Tui Snider of Mental Mosaic posted ths amazing photo of the front gate of Torres' house, which is festooned with thousands of empty cans of beer. As you can guess, Torres drinks exclusively Miller Lite and Milwaukee's Best Light - which gives the unusual decor a distinctive blue pallete.

According to NBCDFW, the whole thing got started when he decided to string empty cans of beer as a DIY ornament:

He wrapped the end of a long, thin wire around a weight, tossed it over one of the limbs of a hackberry tree in his back yard, and started stringing cans onto it. When the string was about 30 feet long, he tied it off to his chain-link fence.

Impressed with the results, Torres decided to do it over and over again. The "Beer Can House" has now become a popular tourist attraction, and Torres often discover people leaving him packs of beer. "Some days I'll get home and find 12-packs sitting inside the gate," he said.

Hedge trimmer? We don't need no stinkin' hedge trimmer! Not when we have a lawn mower and a truck-mounted crane!


Good News Everyone, Here's Futurama's Planet Express Building IRL

Alex

Not sure if this is the old Cointe Observatory in Belgium (sadly, not old New New York), or Planet Express Building from Futurama. They look suspiciously identical ... just missing the Angry Dome. Via imgur.

Behold Square Donuts!

Alex

Who says that donuts have to be round? Here's some square donuts that look just as good as their more common cousins, the round donuts.

Wonder how they're made? A little Googlin' found these from (the appropriately named) Square Donuts, a donut shop in Terre Haute, Indiana:

Silly me! I thought hipsters prefer 8mm.


Resume + Beer = Resum-Ale

Alex

When Brennan Gleason got an idea, he sure "hopped" to it. The web and graphic designer and home brewer decided to combine his love of brewing his own blonde ale and his search for gainful employment by making and sending his resumes in the form of a four-pack of beer.

Gleason described it as "Resume + Beer = Gleason's Resum-Ale." The designer printed his resume on a specially printed box, while each of the four beer botle labels feature a piece of his work. To add a finishing touch, the bottle cap sports his custom logo.

This is so cool we can "barley" stand it! You got a resume mashed up with alcohol? "Ale" take two! Via Design Taxi

Grant Davis (baronvongrant) was impressed at the pose that his 15 month-old toddler Winter struck for a picture and decided that she needed a better backdrop.

"I was amused with the pose in this photo so I decided to see how many ways I could work it into various films and make her pose have different contextual meanings: defensively warding off Godzilla, reaching out for a Snitch, blasting a repulsor ray from her Iron Man glove," said Davis to TODAY.

The results are absolutely fantastic. Take a look:

"Poop is the Perfect Evidence": How Scientists Discovered that Neanderthals Ate Their Veggies

Alex

Yet another reason why you should eat your veggies: in 50,000 years, future archaeologists may be examining your fossilized poop.

That's what Ainara Sistiaga and colleagues did at an archaeological dig in Spain to add further support that Neanderthals weren't the purely meat-eating species as their modern day reputation suggested - they were actually veggie lovers, too.

"Poo is the perfect evidence," said Sistiaga to the BBC, "because you're sure that it was consumed."

Fossilised bits of faeces, or "coprolites", which glow under blue light because of their high phosphate content, were found nearby the tell-tale samples with high levels of plant-derived chemicals. (Image: Ainara Sistiaga)

Chemical analysis revealed traces of plant-derived esters, which suggest that Neanderthals had a "significant intake of plants." Read the entire post over at the BBC. (Inset photo: Memo Angeles/Shutterstock)

Missing Bike, NO REWARD

Alex

Writing down your feelings sure can make you feel better! This anonymous note to a bike thief - a classic from the Interweb of yore (we first saw it way back in 2010) - elegantly described the problem and the (lack of) solution:

MISSING!

My bike was stolen from my front lawn last week. It is a one-speed bike with a skull flag and a lightning bolt on it. The lightning bolt and flag may have been removed. This bike was brand new from the store.

NO REWARD

I don't even want this bike back. I just made these flyers to tell you that I hate you, bike thief. I hope you ride my bike without a helmet and get hit by a monster truck. I hope my bike takes you straigth to hell.


Girls Girls Girls! Just Kidding. Homemade Lasagna, Says Restaurant Sign

Either way is a win! This sign for a local restaurant said "Girls Girls Girls ... Just Kidding ... Homemade lasagna." I personally think that homemade lasagna deservedly win every time.
